Hear John Curran, President and CEO of ARIN, speak about why you should move to IPv6 now and how you can get an IPv6 block from ARIN. Explore current IPv6 adoption trends by taking a look at how many networks have an IPv6 block, how many networks are routing IPv6, and how much traffic is using IPv6. And last but not least, find out how you can get a reserved IPv4 block from ARIN to help in your transition to IPv6.

3:20 pm	4:10 pm	Presentation 4	Loghashankar Srinivasan, Mei Fan & Travais Norling, Cicso	We Didn’t Just Build the Internet—We Constantly Reimagine It - An IPV6 Campus of the future	Cisco’s Enterprise engineering team, in collaboration with the Cisco IT team (Known within Cisco as the IPV6 transformers), took the lead in converting one of Cisco’s buildings, building 23 (known internally as "The v6 Island") in San Jose to an IPv6-only network. Building 23 houses more than 500 employees with at least two devices per person. This translates into more than 120 access points and 20 network devices (Wireless/Switching/Routing). The Cisco IPV6 transformers are here to share this exhilarating journey to roll out the first IPv6-only building in the industry servicing the typical daily business traffic of a large enterprise. Beyond the excitement, it had been a Herculean effort to make sure that critical services were migrated with minimal disruption.
4:10 pm	5:00 pm	Presentation 5	Rob Barton, Cisco	IPv6 and IoT	IPv6 plays a foundational role in the rapidly maturing world of IoT and digital transformation. This presentation will examine IPv6 use case examples in IoT environments and the unique challenges posed by constrained networks. We will examine the core IPv6 building blocks for IoT, including 6LoWPAN, RPL, and network management protocols, as well as applications of the various IPv6 address management strategies. We will look at how to overcome some of the most common IPv4 to v6 NAT issues by utilizing MAP-T, as well security best practices for IPv6 IoT endpoints. Finally, we will examine how Cisco has deployed some of the largest industrial IoT networks in the world using IPv6.

Keynote: Franck Martin, LinkedIn

Franck Martin has been postmaster at LinkedIn from 2011 till 2017. He spent nearly 20 years in Fiji where he worked extensively with 20 or so Pacific Island countries. He was trustee at the Internet Society 2006-2009, members of the Pacific Islands and San Francisco Chapters. He has deployed a few ISPs in Tuvalu, Fiji and Samoa as well as established two ccTLDs dot KI (Kiribati) and dot NR (Nauru). He has worked on the DMARC.org specification, deployed it at LinkedIn, and he is promoting email authentication technologies and policies. He is currently working towards building an IPv6-only data center at LinkedIn. He is also active in the alternative electronic music scene in San Francisco. He has released several electronica albums under his name.

8:00 am	9:00 am	Breakfast
9:00 am	10:00 am	Keynote 3	Franck Martin, LinkedIn	IPv6 @ LinkedIn	LinkedIn has been following the depletion of IPv4. It put its first application - mail - on IPv6 in 2013, followed by the website and API in 2014. We then looked internally and saw we would also run out of IPv4 there. Yes, really! It was time to act. Since 2015, we have been on a long journey to convert our data centers to IPv6. This journey is not finished, but we will show you the milestones achieved and what it really means to deploy IPv6 @ scale, everywhere on everything.
10:00 am	10:10 am	Break
10:10 am	11:00 am	Presentation 6	Veronika McKillop, Microsoft	Microsoft IT: Journey to IPv6 – are we there yet and what’s next?	This presentation will cover the journey that Networking team in Microsoft IT took from an IPv4-only to Dual-Stack network. However, the team is not stopping there as this Dual-Stack is only IPv6 half-done. Our team aims to go IPv6-Only and I will share some details of this new exciting direction. I will also include differences in challenges that Enterprises face versus Service Providers.
11:00 am	11:10 am	Break
11:10 am	12:00 pm	Presentation 7	David Holder, Erion LTD	CGN: A driver for IPv6 adoption	"The IPv4 address space is exhausted and the scarcity of addresses is leading to the deployment of techniques to preserve and better utilize currently allocated addresses. Amongst these techniques, Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) is one which service providers are increasingly deploying in their access networks. The long-term solution to address exhaustion is IPv6 with its enormous address space. However, the existing and widespread deployment of IPv4 networks and systems make it necessary to continue to support IPv4 into the near future. The deployment of CGN is not without its challenges. CGN in the data path affects all players; end users, application developers, service providers, carriers and content providers. CGNs can impact banking applications, internet advertising, internet analytics, legal Intercept, computer forensics, privacy, voice and messaging applications, games consoles applications, AJAX applications and much more. This presentation reviews the implications of CGN, how it affects all parties, the actions that can mitigate CGN issues and why the increasing deployment of CGN is an important driver for the adoption of IPv6."
12:00 pm	1:00 pm	Lunch
1:00 pm	1:50 pm	Presentation 8	Shannon McFarland, Cisco	IPV6 in Cloud Deployments	"More and more enterprise and service provider environments are deploying IPv6 within their Clouds due to extreme IPv4 address exhaustion. IPv6 support in various private and public Cloud platforms range from zero-to-hero. This session will discuss: - High-level view of IPv6 support across private cloud to include popular stacks such as OpenStack and Docker - High-level view of IPv6 support across a few popular public cloud providers - Top considerations for IPv6 addressing in Cloud designs - Technical overview of OpenStack deployment with IPv6"
